Boy battles for life after bucket plunge

A 10-month-old Brooklyn boy was near death yesterday after he tumbled into a mop bucket filled with water and cleaning chemicals, his worried family said.

“Nobody wants to think the worst, but only God knows now,” said the boy’s aunt.

Jaccob Baker fell head-first into a bucket Thursday night as his brother, 14, mopped the kitchen floor of his family’s Crown Heights apartment.

Jaccob went into cardiac arrest while being rushed to Interfaith Medical Center, but was revived. The chemicals in the bucket destroyed one of his lungs and kidneys, and his heart was severely damaged.
